Hunt Groups

For extensions in a hunt group, an incoming call to that group hunts for the first available extension. The system supports up to six hunt groups, using the group numbers 771 to 776.

•Any number of extensions can be assigned to each hunt group. In addition, extensions can be in more than one hunt group.

•You can include multiple fax machines or answering machines in a hunt group.

•If a ringing call to the hunt group is not answered within three rings, the call moves to the next idle extension in the hunt group.

•If users in the hunt group leave their desks, they should turn on Do Not Disturb at their extensions so that calls hunt immediately to the next available extension.

•Hunt Group calls are not eligible for call coverage or VMS coverage.

•For each external line, one of the hunt groups can be selected as the line's coverage destination, see Group Call Distribution.
